Valve Operation and System Design Diploma

Diploma in Valve Operation and System Design - Level 4

A valve is a device that regulates the flow of water or air through various passageways. Although a valve is a technical fitting, it is usually discussed as a separate category as it is a crucial component in opening, closing and obstructing various systems. Therefore, this Diploma in Valve Operation and System Design at QLS Level 4 (USA Standards) has been initiated to thoroughly educate you about valve operation, along with an extensive insight into a system design. This esteemed certification is a great way to get into or make substantial progress in a career related to maintenance, repair or supervision.

This comprehensive course comprises of quality learning materials that will enlighten you about valves and its importance within a system. You will come to understand the functions of a value, followed by modules that will systematically explore the different types of valves that are used widely. This course is also focused on covering the various theories and principles related to valves such as Hydraulic principles, Archimedes and many more.

This course poses a great advantage for your maintenance, repair or supervision career as devices such as valve actuators, hydraulic actuators and control devices will be discussed amply through this course, followed by an in-depth lecture on how valves can prevent equipment destruction. By the end of this course, you will have a significant knowledge on valves and systems design to handle them appropriately.

The Quality Licence Scheme, endorses high-quality, non-regulated provision and training programmes. This means that Imperial Learning Limited* has undergone an external quality check to ensure that the organisation and the courses it offers, meet defined quality criteria. The completion of this course alone does not lead to a regulated qualification but may be used as evidence of knowledge and skills gained. The Learner Unit Summary may be used as evidence towards Recognition of Prior Learning if you wish to progress your studies in this subject. To this end the learning outcomes of the course have been benchmarked at Level 4 against level descriptors published by Quality Licence Scheme, to indicate the depth of study and level of demand/complexity involved in successful completion by the learner.

The course itself has been designed by Imperial Learning Limited* to meet specific learners’ and/or employers’ requirements which cannot be satisfied through current qualifications.

Quality Licence Scheme endorsement involves robust and rigorous quality audits by external auditors to ensure quality is continually met. A review of courses is carried out as part of the endorsement process.

This course has been endorsed by the Quality Licence Scheme for its high-quality, non-regulated provision and training programmes. This course is not regulated by Ofqual and is not an accredited qualification. We will be able to advise you on any further recognition, for example progression routes into further and/or higher education.
